He really understood what works on screen and on the page. It's a rare trait to have mastered both as well as he did.

They weren't trying to deliver it.

You were being taunted.

They will never tax the rich without taxing passive income.

But of course they're also going after the little guy first.

Read the novel if you haven't. The screenwriter (William Goldman) wrote the novel as well, and it's fantastic. It has depth to it that wouldn't have worked in the movie.

Unfortunately his behavior continued on set. Creepy dude.

But his character wasn't meant to be creepy, and I need to remember that from time to time.

My heart is with you.

This was never my fight, but I was always vaguely supportive.

But about a year ago my wife and I invited someone into our home and lives, and we had no idea how terrifying that would get for them.

So yes, I echo some of your fears. How do I protect them should people show up wanting to disappear them?

How do I deal with that fear without projecting it onto them, when they're dealing with enough?

I was never a parent and yet now I kinda am, and I have a tiny sense of what you're going through - from Minnesota.

Just don't watch the movie that followed the series. It's not worth it.

Yeah, sorry about that. I work for an insurance company, but not for much longer. (Not that I ever made that worse for you, I am/was in collections.)

Players: "What about that item you gave us in the third session but never used? This must be what it was for all along, right?"

DM to self: What the hell are they talking about?

Absolutely, mileage will vary, so do your research.

Mine got me a mortgage when nobody else was lending. Got my wife the house she'd always wanted, her grandma's place. I'd been a member for more than a decade by that point. The mortgage wasn't even through them, they found us the lender, so they at best got a referral fee.

Move your shit to a credit union. They are far more forgiving.

Lawsuits will not beat fascists.

 

I was honestly curious if there was a link between the two terms, not a scientific one.

That said the number of participants in the study makes it a little questionable.

 

I'm a 50 year old dude, never cared about sports. But my wife got into PWHL last year and I started watching with her.

It doesn't have the toxicity that I've seen in so many male dominated sports. We're Minnesotans, so of course we support Frost.

Late last season we were watching a game and while the game was tied, our (Minnesota, not yet called Frost) team wasn't making as many shots on goals as they usually did, and I said that.

"What's going on? Why is Minnesota lagging in shots on goal... WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, I'M MAKING OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SPORTS STATISTICS!!"

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

 

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
